Would you like to have more control over your queue line? Would you like to know how many people are going to be there for the entire night before you even open?
Implementing a virtual queue line can let your customers be entertained the whole evening while they spend more money at your event. Timed ticketing can let you streamline your ticket sales and fine-tune your throughput.
Alex Linebrink from HauntPay.com explains how you can add these solutions to your attraction.
Justin Hill (Haunted Hills Haunted Attractions) uses some of these ticketing solutions in his attraction and explains how you can do it too. Plus, his customers are happier and they are spending more money at his haunt!

The word "Consultant" can leave a bad taste in your mouth if you've ever been burnt by someone who promised to make your attraction better but didn't. Or if you think that you can do everything on your own, without professional feedback.
It doesn't have to be that way. Choosing the right Haunt Consultant doesn't have to be scary. Scott Swenson explains what makes a great consultant, things to avoid when it comes to hiring the right one, and why you might not even need one.
Plus, we always sprinkle Haunt Tips & Tricks throughout our conversations.
